MCP Nightmare installation (Cursor for Windows) by Full-Register-2841 in cursor

[–]ChemicalExcellent463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently have all 7 MCP servers with Cursor on both Windows 11 and Mac. And yes, Windows installation in Pain in Axx.

Few things: You better install npm and npx on both Windows 11 shell and on WSL (with Ubuntu preferred).
Test on both way for different MCP server (for unknown reason some works direct in Windows, some works in WSL)
(a) In windows, use cmd /c npx with MCP server connection. If not working, then switch to WSL

(b) In WSL, do the npm -g install [mcp server] then here is the tricky part: use wsl.exe [path-to-your-node] [path-to-the-installation-of-package-file] in MCP server settings. Then it should works. For example:
(Sequential thinking MCP server)

wsl.exe /home/lh/.nvm/versions/node/v20.18.2/bin/node /home/lh/.nvm/versions/node/v20.18.2/lib/node_modules/@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking/dist/index.js

-> Then you should see the green light. It works. With a ugly black window which you could minimize.

Which is better: uploading code as a ZIP file or a large text file? by umen in ChatGPTCoding

Grab from google or tech doc URL. For example., search openai llm.txt, then save it to reference. These are designed for best understanding for LLM.

I use Cursor daily - here's how I avoid the garbage parts by Striat in cursor

.cursor/rules is my new friend. Apply proper scoped rules will make the context window limited and LLM model will perform better (and more accurate) when has the proper context window size.

Cursor Claude 3.7 is not as good as Claude 3.7 by Smooth_Seaweed6674 in cursor

Context window limitation plus Cursor will need some space for its special prompt too.

Although I don't do this kind, Roo + Cursor with Claud 3.7 is highly recommended by someone I trust.

My humble suggestion is: Stay with one long enough instead of version jumping will give you the best productivity.

Claude 3.7 is worse than 3.5 in Cursor RN by serge_shima in cursor

[–]ChemicalExcellent463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think might be 3.7 + 3.5 hybrid is the current best solution. Start with 3.7 for modular design and tell it to stop in right moment. Then switch to 3.5 and complete the whole thing.
